Israel: Smuggling of over 700 kg of meat unfit for eating foiled

"The security inspectors of the crossings authority at the Defense Ministry thwarted the smuggling of a particularly large shipment of more than 700 kilograms of meat unfit for eating."

"The meat was hidden in the double wall of a truck that arrived Sunday at the Eliahu crossing, near Qalqiliya."

"The driver, an Israeli citizen, aroused the suspicion of the examiners at the crossing. The truck was turned over for inspection, during which a double wall was discovered containing hundreds of kilograms of meat hidden in bags without refrigeration and / or other basic conditions for maintaining its freshness."
